Work Placements - Journalism - Uganda
Moved by the country’s exceptional natural beauty, Winston Churchill described Uganda as the ‘Pearl of Africa’. This is a country of lush green landscapes, huge lakes and stunning mountain ranges. Visitors to this amazing country are rewarded with remarkable birdlife and wild animals, including the ‘Big Five’ and the endangered Mountain Gorillas. It’s a truly breathtaking country.
Careerbreaker Volunteer Work Placements is based in Jinja, a sleepy town on the banks of Lake Victoria and at the source of the Nile. There are plenty of activities here, including white water rafting and the famous ‘Nile High’ bungee.
The placements in Jinja offer exciting opportunities to work in both radio and newspaper journalism; with the added opportunity to promote journalism in schools. This placement has been set up in such a way that you can put together a personal and individual programme based upon your own interests and preferences.
The opportunities available to you aim both to give you the experience of private sector journalism in Uganda; and for you to contribute to the quality, level and type of information and media that is produced. The newspaper journalism placement is currently in the branch of a daily, national newspaper. For the radio journalism work you may find yourself involved in every stage of the process, helping to research, prepare and present broadcasts on the air and to run the technology involved in the process.
A third option could be to spend some time at one of the local schools running journalism related classes and extra-curricular activities e.g. A school magazine could be set-up and run under your guidance.
